Earlier this week, Reuters claimed that oil prices were falling because of a potential Presidential victory for John Kerry. CNN, who had originally claimed that the price drop had a little something to do with increased oil and natural gas inventories, quickly changed their story to follow Reuters lead.

Now, just a few days after Kerry conceded the election and oil prices are still dropping, it's being credited on (surprise), increased oil and natural gas inventories.

U.S. crude oil futures settled below $49 a barrel for the first time since Sept. 27, after a report showed natural gas storage at a record high

CNN, once again follows Reuters lead and reports, "Rising crude and natural gas stockpiles in the United States" are "eroding a price rally that has lifted prices more than 50 percent this year."

I forget. Who was it they were criticizing for stockpiling oil in the strategic reserves?
